Page 83 - Chawton

Chawton is famous for its association with Jane Austen who came to live here
in 1809, leaving for Winchester only shortly before her death in 1817. The
Austen's house is now open to the public and contains many momentoes to Jane
Austen. The Knight family have owned Chawton House since the beginning of the
sixteenth century and it sits impressively amid the trees beside its neighbour
the attractive nineteenth century Church of St. Nicholas.
